Attached: 1 image Bueno, pues necesito alternativas a Google maps, porque acabo de decidir hace unos segundos dejar de usarlo después de que me saliera un trayecto con un desvío completamente innecesario que mete dos minutos más porque pasa cerca de una gasolinera que ha patrocinado ese trayecto

Original toot in Spanish says: “OK, so I need some alternatives to Google Maps, because I just decided seconds ago to stop using it after I got proposed a trip with a completely unnecessary detour which adds two extra minutes just because it pass by a gas station that sponsors this trip.”

    The one big draw of Google maps for me is the real-time traffic info. I don’t think that anything else had the ability to gather the same amount of info (except maybe Apple?)

      Waze. Google Maps literally gathers a large part of it’s traffic real time data from Waze (which they also own).

        Maybe, but I suspect that Waze has a small fraction of the gmaps user base, so if it has compatible traffic info, it’s because it draws on Google’s data.

          Google pulls from Waze, but Waze isn’t allowed to pull data from Google.
